Air Canada and Hopper add Cancel for Any Reason flight coverage

Air Canada has partnered with Montreal based Hopper to offer customers “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage that can be purchased during the online booking process for eligible non-refundable Air Canada flights.

Cancel for Any Reason, powered by Hopper, allows customers to easily cancel their flight up to 24 hours before scheduled departure. Depending on the level of coverage purchased, upon cancellation, a refund of 80 or 100 per cent of the original eligible booking is issued immediately to the user’s preferred payment method – with no additional wait time or extra steps needed. Cancel for Any Reason is available for Standard, Flex, Premium Economy Lowest and Business Class Lowest fares
